<h1>Person</h1>
As the name implies, a Person corresponds to a real world person. A
person must belong to a department (even if only the default
department).<br>
<br>
All persons are stored in /Root/System Configuration/Setup Persons.<br>
<br>
A person entity contains information about the name, description,
contact details and department to which it belongs. You will also be
able to view which users belong to the person.<br>
<br>
A Person can be made responsible for tasks.<br>
<h2>Creating Persons</h2>
Navigate the tree to /Root/System Configuration/Setup Persons. If you
have permission to create persons then the "Create New Person" button
on the toolbar will be enabled. Pressing it will bring up a new panel
for creating a person. Enter the appropriate information and press OK
to create the person or Cancel to discard it with no action taken. If
the person is created, it will be initialised with a change log
recording the initial details.<br>
<h2>Editing Persons</h2>
If you have permission to edit the person then the Edit button
will be enabled. Pressing it makes each of the available parts
editable. The full list of contact detail types will be displayed,
however, only those for which a valid value exists will be displayed
once the changes are committed. Note that when editing contact details,
only the right column will be editable. In order to change the choice
of Contact Detail Types (the left column), it is necessary to edit the
Contact Types separately.<br>
<br>
The department to which the persons belongs should be selected using
the supplied combo-box.<br>
